Garnier Hydra Bomb Green Tea Tissue Mask Review

I've tried many of the Garnier sheet masks recently and this one was the worst by the long shot.

There was so much liquid in the packet you can't help but make a mess getting the mask out. It's super sloppy which makes it really hard to unfold the mask and stick it on your face properly. The fask also slips down your face much more than the other varieties.

I found that the serum didn't really absorb in the 15min time frame so it had to be rubbed in and left alone for a long time after talking the mask off (good thing I had lots more Downton Abbey to watch!).

In the end my skin did feel nice and hydrated but I'm not sure it was worth the hassle given I had better results with the other masks and with less fuss required.

Purchased on sale recently during a 50% off sale at Countdown. Packaging is big, bigger than other tissue mask items I have used. It does point the features and ingredients of this product at a glance. Has a slight smell, maybe the green tea scent. Mask has a blue protective film. Still don't know what it's for. I thought it might be to make it easier to apply but while peeling of the blue layer the tissue mask lifts off anyway and you need to reposition it on the face. Seems like an unnecessary step to me.

Results from the mask:Skin looks brighter, hydrated and clearer. I did use the excess formula to moisturise the face, neck and decolletage area. However after it has dried down so it is a bit sticky. You may want to just wipe it off if you dont like the feeling. I actually really like the way it looks, really healthy and clear. Would be a great mask for the summer due to the hydration and slightly cooling effect. Another mask that I liked a lot better than I thought I would.

I love sheet masks, I picked this up for only $2.50 as garnier was having a 50% off sale. Such a good deal. I love the packaging, vibrant green which is very eye catching. It is super easy to tear it open.

The mask itself is literally dripping with product, it was a little hard to open this up as it was so drenched but I finally got there. Then it has a blue layer which you peel off after you apply to your face, the blue layer was already half off so I found it easier to remove before applying. It fits my face well and feels comfortable to wear.

After 15 minutes I remove and there is a tonne of product left on my face, I like to rub it in, it feels sticky for quite a bit but does eventually dry down.

This mask left my skin feeling soothed as it was a bit red and a huge spot I had looked less angry. It felt so hydrated and looked plump and youthful.

I adore these masks. Cheap and cheerful and make a big difference to my skin. A great pampering treat. Sit back and relax :-)
